These are from random webcam sessions.

KL.

KL with Brian.

Now. With Leon.

Another update!

2009-05-07T14:31:00.005+08:00

Look! An update! I'm running on a few hours of sleep (because I went on an hour's walk to the Russian's house for beer, then back again at 5 in the morning) so I won't say much. These are from yesterday.

Simpsons ice cream.

It's a push pop.

We were "studying".

The German's marine biology stuff I told you about in the last post.
See, I wasn't lying.

Drinks at the Second Degree.

Swedish.

Zzz bai.

Library blues

2009-05-06T15:02:00.004+08:00

I am sitting in the law library at uni with the Russian, the German and Swedish. Yes I have found a Swedish here. I have to complete a 500 word essay by tomorrow and I still only have 366, including the title and references. I am procrastinating because my head feels like it's going to explode.

The German is currently writing an essay on the correlation between the size of particular corals and the population density of fishes. No, I am not joking. It's for marine biology class. The fact that he even has to do a 6 page essay on this one question scares me shitless. I, on the other hand, am doing an essay on the Right to Information. The Russian has two 4000 words essays which are due and he has so far written nothing because he has to "read a lot of shit before writing", and Swedish is writing an essay on Gulliver's Travels. I'm actually not sure why I'm telling you guys all this bullshit. Might be because I'm dying and need to buy a heater so I don't freeze tonight.

We actually only have this study room till 5 PM, but if the people who originally booked it aren't coming at 20 past, we get it :D So hopefully they don't come because I NEED TO WRITE THIS DAMN ESSAY. It's due noon tomorrow. So I'm screwed. TA.

Hey all. Here's the post I promised. Random photos, little words because I want to finish my 500 word essay due the day after tomorrow.

Random label Von and I saw in Myer.
I also own Bonia. Haha.

This was Saturday night. I think. The days all blur together here. We're at the casino toilet camwhoring after a couple of drinks and watching boys gambling away their lives along with all the other people in there at 3 AM who have nothing else better to do.

Sunday couch party at Erfan's. Stayed there until 1:30 AM, then the neighbours decided to complain. Thanks guys. I didn't even get drunk, but had to help lug Dee May and Von home because they were GONE, BABY, GONE. So bad. One took painkillers before drinking, and the other prolly just had a lot of goon. Which both suck.

I, on the other hand, skulled some goon wine + Bundy rum + Blonde beer concotion and won $5 bucks. And respect. Haha!

Posers.

See what I mean?

After lugging the drunkards home on FOOT (which nearly killed us because they were falling everywhere) because this stupid cab driver picked us up and then told us that 5 of us couldn't sit in a car, we put Dee to sleep and the rest of us chilled at Von's place. In the arvo we decided to hit West End for some Malaysian food, but it was closed due to it being Labour Day. God damn. However, we did manage to find some other Chinese eatery and I had chicken rice yum yum. Not as good as Jalan Gasing, but it was FOOD after waiting 12o4313497 years for them to decide. Ran into couple of people while debating where to eat. At this point, the guys and I were just saying "Foodfoodfood."

Maks. Chris. Von. Dee.

I'm so hungry.
I'm STARVING.
Me too.
Where do you guys wanna eat?
Let's look around down here maybe?
What, more walking? T_T I'm dying.
Maybe we can try that Indian place?
No, not good for me.
Hungry!
Ooh, look there's a shop here!
-_- FOOD.
Where are we going?
Let's go see down here maybe?
There's a noodle restaurant here.
Ew, noodles?
Ooh, look more shops!
I WILL EAT YOUR HAND!

I forgot to mention that a cute little boy came up to us while we were chatting to Erfan at the bus stop.

This is my bike!
AWWWWWWW!
Yes, this id my bike and id's got wheels!
AWWWWWW!
*gives bike to the boys*
This is yours?
Yesh, his name is *insert name here because I forgot*.
The driver on the bike is him?
Yesh, id is! He's duh BESTEST in duh world!
What's your name? :)
Oh, Romeo :)
AWWWWWW! Your name is ROMEO? Von, his name is Romeo!
Awww! Where's Juliet?
*to guys* His name is Romeo!
Where's Julia?
Do you mean Juliet?
Haha yes!
Oh my God his hair is so nice! *pats head*
Eeee!

After lunch, back to Von's place sans Dee because she wanted to go home. The Russian and the German thought it would be a good idea to go SWIMMING. In Von's pool. And then the jacuzzi. In their boxers. Which was actually quite funny, because it was FREEZING. Then Von and I decided to join them in the jacuzzi. But then I also decided to see how cold the water was.

It was GOD DAMN FREAKING COLD. Like ICE. AND THE WIND. It was bad. I took a damn long time to get in. And I was in a BIKINI.

I think I want to go into the pool. *looks at water hesitantly*
WHY?!
I just want to see how cold it is. *steps in thigh deep* IT'S FREAKING COLD!!!!!!!
Get out!
No! I should dip, then go inside the jacuzzi. It'll be better right?
Yeah.
It's really cold...
Oh God... *wades around*
Don't!
Come on, you have Russian respect already. You have to prove it!
Shut up, psyching me out won't work -_-
It's REALLY cold.
Gaaah!
Don't go in!
I want to see!
Just jump in! It's the easiest way.
Yeah, just jump!
I know! Just let me get used to it. Gaaah!
DO IT!
WAIT! Oh screw this. *jumps in*
WOO!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKK!
Respect!
SCREW YOU!

It wasn't so bad after I got fully soaked. I swam around then ran to the jacuzzi. Then we stayed there until 7 PM playing stupid games like holding our breath and splashing each other until we got tired. Von and I stole their clothes then we all showered and went to the city for dinner at a Korean place. Afterwards we had a beer at the Pig and Whistle, then Von went home and the three of us caught a bus. The Russian fell asleep on the bus and I got off and he was annoyed I didn't say goodbye to him -_-

Then my bus had actually stopped coming when I got off the other one because of the public holiday so I had to walk home. Eventually got back at 11 PM and managed to finish an assignment that was due at midnight. Luckily I managed to churn out some crap for the 200 word rationale during the last 15 minutes before the due date.

The boys at the Korean place. Who is who? Who can guess? You'll get brownies. Or lollies.

Oh noes again

2009-05-01T23:20:00.002+08:00

I have been transported back to high school life, where crushes and emo songs reign. Luckily, high school drama is absent.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I think it's obvious I'm going to be on indefinite hiatus until I've either:

a) sorted life out
b) got new site up
c) take new pictures
d) or actually just until this Sunday, when there's gonna be a party.

Thank you for the people who responded; I really value your opinions :) All of you are so nice and optimistic.

Makes me want to kill myself, but yeah, thanks for believing.

Question

2009-04-23T23:29:00.001+08:00

If a guy buys you a flower/chocolate bouquet on the second "date" as a surprise when he's sending you home in his car, does he like you, or is he trying to get into your pants?

I shall ignore the fact that I have a 1500 word essay due on Tuesday, and write about things I love about Brisbane.

What I love about Brisbane...

1. We have a ferry, aka. the City Cat. Sitting on it is awesome; reminds me a lot of the times I used to go on Star Ferry back in Hong Kong (which has now been taken down T_T). Wind in your hair. Downside? Lots of couples take this -_-

2. The Sky Above, The Field Below: the sky is so freaking blue all the time. You don't get this cornflower blue in KL. In fact, you prolly get that weird grey smoke below the pale blue. And there is a lot of grass here. A LOT. So pretty.

3. We actually have seasons here. Right now, we're in autumn, which is lovely. Not too hot, not too cold. Great for sunbathing. Good date weather actually.

4. Cheap alcohol. Self-explanatory.

5. NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES. This is a HUGE win. I swear. It is sooo good to go to a club and dance without watching that guy/girl with that fag jumping up and down dangerously near you. Instead, they have designated smoking areas. Usually near dustbins. Lol.

6. It's clean. Clean clean clean. No trash everywhere.

7. I can walk around at night alone, and not be too worried that I might get raped/robbed/killed. It's not recommended, but at least it's not too bad. I don't have to switch my bag from my right to my left when I'm walking along the road. I don't have to worry about wearing too short-shorts or skirts or low cut tops. It's allll goooood.

8. I CAN SEE THE STARS HERE AT NIGHT. I even know which one's Orion's Belt, the Southern Cross, and that's about it for now.

9. My campus is cool. I walk everywhere = more exercise.

10. Cool stores/stuff.

11. Things are a lot cheaper.

12. Internet is fast.

Things I miss about KL:

1. Cheap cabs. We don't have a ferry or buses, but we have cabs. And they don't take half an hour.

2. I don't have to worry about if what i'm wearing is warm enough or not. I just wear jeans.

3. We don't have dodgy clubbing places like the Valley here.

4. Shops stay open until 10, or are 24/7.

5. Mamaks.

6. Sushi Zanmai, oh how I miss you.

7. I wish I had my car so I DON'T have to walk everywhere.

8. Stuff is cheapER. And when I convert, it is actually the same price.

9. My friends/family.

10. Free internet/wi-fi.

11. FOOD.

Song for you

2009-04-18T16:49:00.003+08:00

It's nice to see, nice to see
That you don't need me, don't need me
It's nice to know, nice to know
That you're not alone, not alone

It's hard to watch, hard to watch
You having fun, having fun
It's hard for me, hard for me
When I'm a one, I'm a one

It's hurts to know, hurts to know
That you've let it go, let it go
It smarts to see, smarts to see
That you're with her, not me.

Oh-Oh

2009-04-15T18:14:00.002+08:00

I think I might have to curtail my little drinking sessions with my friends, because after 6 nights of it, I'm beginning to feel certain little side effects. Nothing too bad though, although the coughing up blood part was sick. That also might be due to the fact that I have a sore throat. Anyways. All my alco is GONE. I do not take kindly to this. I do, however, have fruit roll ups, which somehow compensates for the lack of alcohol.

Everyone has vacated the premises, housemate included, which leaves me and my stuffy nose to be alone together. In fact, I think I might just head to bed RIGHT THIS SECOND which is 8:17 PM, since I've been so deprived of it for so long. Also, I might be moving. AGAIN. Yes you got that right. Stop death-staring me people. I have my reasons :)

Ohhhh snap

2009-04-14T11:58:00.001+08:00

I thought I found a little release.
But it just went away just like that.

Finding my feet.

2009-04-12T15:37:00.007+08:00

My Easter weekend started with taking the train from Brisbane to Robina. Actually, it started with me waking up at an ungodly hour, asking a stranger about the bus, taking the bus, asking the driver where the train station was, getting off the bus and getting on the train for a one hour ride. Thank God for Haruki Murakami, that's all I've got to say.

Nik picked me up. Been ages since I last saw him, so was super stoked. His place is AWESOME. So lucky you guys :( They took me around, then went to class. At the uni BAR. With their LECTURER. This is unfair.

Mik and Nik.

BJ had the McLovin card!

I arrived on the day that 3 MOS DJs were spinning at their uni bar. It was cool!

Ninja.

Mik and Noddy :)

Mik and Shalini :P

There were so many fights. I saw this guy get punched straight in the face, then went down for the count. Saw another guy whip off his shirt O_O Nastee. Apparently another guy's wrist got stomped on by the bouncers. Awesome. Then we went back to their place for a small-ish after party.

Aww Roslin :)

Mik and Mike.

Nik cooked us pasta.
"It's BURNING!"
Joke.

After spending two nights at Nik's place, headed back to Brisbane on Saturday. Train took two hours this time; it kept getting delayed and it was raining and freezing. I walked all the way back home because the bus would've taken half an hour to come. Super annoying thing about Brisbane. The transport here is meh. Although they have better bus systems, we have cabs. Win.

Anyways, it was Raj's birthday.

Birthday boy.

We got totally smashed, then headed to the Valley. People on the train thought we were loco.

Vik and Von.

Gay boy.

Sista luuurve.

Needless to say, I fulfilled my desire to dance everything out. I am slowly finding my feet. Much love to the friends back home :)

Changes.

2009-04-06T13:45:00.002+08:00

For those of you who do not know, I have changed my email! Yes! Indeed. If you wish to still speak to me on MSN or email me or whatnot, please comment on this. I will most likely have added most of you already, so no sweat. I bid a fond goodbye to my old account; I've had it since I was 12. Kinda sad saying goodbye, but it had to be done.

Seriously, I cannot use more than one name for anything. Therefore I have changed almost every single account I have to one username. Ditto email. And my Blogger. Which took a heck of a long time to move. Also, I changed my email because the old one was just embarrassing. And also hard to remember.

Anyways. Recently in uni, I had to form a group with 3 others to make a website for one class. Here's how our first meeting went. Member 1 could not show up because his sister got admitted to hospital (nothing serious, don't worry). Our next 3 group meetings were without Member 3 because she had class the times we were meeting up. Our last meeting, where we had to go through our powerpoint presentation for the next day was supposed to be at 2 PM, but then Member 3 had to stay back for a bit because her mother was in hospital (again, nothing too serious) so she delayed it until 5. Then she told me she wasn't coming, but would be online at 6. I went off to meet the others.

I arrive, see M1 and M2 sitting at the usual spot.

Hi!
Hey.
Anyways, Member 3 said she can't make it.
Ohh...
But she will be online at 6 to go over it with us.

2 hours later...

Oh my God I'm so tired.
Me too -_- Where is she?
Is she on yet?
Umm... Nope. Still nothing.
I've been here since this morning.
Oh my God! Shall we just go then, and meet up tomorrow?
Yeah, alright. Let's come at 8:30, then we can just go for class at 9.
Okay, don't forget to tell Member 3.
Alright, cool. See you.

Tomorrow. After waiting from 8:30 till class time with M2 and M3, and the first three groups had presented, M1 was still missing halfway into the tutorial. I looked at my phone.

First message: Hey I'm running hella late will be there asap
Second message: Hey I just got taken out by a car am going to get assessed now

OH MY GOD M1 GOT HIT BY A CAR.
WHAT?

So we had to present at the end of the week. My first group assignment and ta-dah! Ends with a big bang. No pun intended. Now I have an 800 word essay to write due this Thursday. Bai.

Elevator Love Letter

2009-03-28T22:34:00.002+08:00

I know this post might seem a bit weird, especially coming from me. But I found the need to say things, for once, on the side of the boys.

For those of you with boyfriends, this one's for you. For those of you with girlfriends, you can message me online and I'll give you my address so you can send me some money (AUD thank you because I needs it) because maybe this might make your significant other realise that's she's not appreciating who's in front of her (if you're good enough to be appreciated that is). And for those of you who are single, this might make you sad, so please don't read.

Okay I'm kidding. Don't think my writing's that good. Anyways.
Maybe put on some emo music.

OKAY.

Ever think your boyfriend's an asshole? There are things he should've done, but never did? Promised to take you to watch this movie you wanted to watch with your friends; you held out, but he watched it with the guys instead, just giving you a little 'sorry'? Didn't wait for you for lunch, but ate beacuse he was hungry?

Remember the good things.

Anniversaries? Birthdays? Valentine's? Things he went out of his way to do for you? Like pick up roses, or a box of chocolates or organise a surprise party? Forget the little things. Remember the big ones. Maybe he went clubbing without you and you were mad. Imagine if he went clubbing and picked up a girl instead. You'd be singing a different song entirely right? No more fighting, more crying. More emo-ness. So instead of being mad, just be grateful he didn't bring her home. Instead of yelling the snot out of him, maybe hug him and make him feel bad. He knows it wasn't right (right guys?). He knows he should've told you. Maybe mentioned he WOULDN'T be RIGHT back, but 5 hours later?

At least he tries. He organised a special dinner for two or a day of spoiling you only. You you you you you. We girls sometimes forget that we always make it all about me me me me me (me being yourselves in this case, and not ME). Guys secretly want to have their cake and eat it too sometimes. They like to be spoiled too! You like roses, maybe you could sit through a football match at the pub. He buys you chocolate, maybe he needs a new tee shirt. It takes two to tango.

Remember, he's got the time old tradition to uphold: girls are meant to be treated like princesses. And for those of you guys who didn't know that, we ARE. Hello! Givers of life here. But, don't forget that she's supposed to be your queen. Respect her. Cherish her. Don't take her for granted. Why do we not understand that life's too short to sweat the small stuff (yes I ripped that off)? Remember, she's still a girl for God's sake. She wants those things she says she doesn't want.

She wants those God damn flowers ONCE IN A WHILE.
She wants you to string fairy lights up all over her room and win her a huge soft toy.
She wants you to hug her from time to time and tell her she's beautiful.
She wants to hear you love her.

Just remember to tell him you love him too :)

Okay I'm done. And this post seems really weird.

2009-03-21T23:07:00.003+08:00

Wow I've been neglecting this blog.

But never fear, I am back!

For now.

I have recently downloaded and am playing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on my NDS, and I gotta say, I'm loving it. Even though the graphics are meh, GTA's graphics are always meh anyways, so what the heck. I'm used to it. And it's fun. Only thing that sucks is that the people driving cars in that game really can't drive cars. And I hate getting my newly-stolen-cars scratched by stupid drivers. Then I just go feel like stealing another one. Yes I am OCD like that.

Want to say a big THANK YOU to the people who commented/messaged/MSN-ed me in regards to the latest series of emo posts. You guys are awesome. You should have cupcakes! Okay I lie, I don't have any. What I do have are Redskins, potatoes, Cadbury eggs, cookie dough... Okay I just finished that (sorry Ginny). But I do have a great big carton of Indomee which I bought :D Makes me so happy. But I think it's clearly starting to affect my digestive system :O

Yes I just did commit TMI.

Bahahaha.

So while Ginny is in the GC, I watched Princess Mononoke and played some more GTA, watched ANTM, Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty, contemplated if I should drink alone, decided not to, contemplated waking up at 9 AM tomorrow for a sports carnival (I'll get back to that one) and decided to blog. So here I am. And I just remembered I haven't finished writing my notes (uh oh) and should get back to them now.

I obviously need to be blitzed out of my mind and hopped up on anti-depressants because everything is just painful and each day is a struggle without some sort of distraction. In the daylight, everything is fine and dandy; sun is shining, birds are singing and I'm going off to class taking notes ever-so-dedicatedly.

I check my email, check Facebook, read blogs, read web comics and check for updates on my TV shows: Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model; all which I watch religiously and follow closely because I HAVE NO LIFE.

And in the wee hours of the morning, if I happen to wake up and think for a second that everything is normal and fine and the days are just breezing on by like before in my limbo-mode pre-uni, pre-Australia, I cry when I realise it is NOT fine and nothing is normal and I'm alone a strange land while my close friends remain untouchable across the sea and land.

Sometimes I also find myself furtively wishing that I could have turned back time and chosen Melbourne or Sydney instead, but then remember why I didn't choose those places and I wonder: would it really have been any different?

And the answer is no, it still would be like this and I just need time to heal and settle down and make friends, all of which is just fucking hard at this point. I can handle it one at a time, maybe two, but all three is just monstrous. I feel like I've been spirited away to the land of Oz (haha mind the pun) but I have no Toto and that just sucks.

Maybe I just need retail therapy and books; lots of books and games like the Sims 3 which I can very effectively lose myself in because I adore living through my little pixellated people and composing lives for them which are far more exciting and distracting than mine. I just need a good distraction.

I also need beef jerky, which seems to only be available at gas stations here and therefore meaning inaccessible since I have no reason to go to gas stations; a new dress/shoes because I feel like it; Borders bookshops; Sims 3 or Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

I also need new thongs because my old one died on me.

Note to self: stop waking up at random times at night and raiding the fridge for ham and pantry for Redskins.

Slow dancing in a burning room.

2009-03-15T00:06:00.002+08:00

I've just got to say, I can't do it anymore.

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm

It's tiring and it sucks and it hurts and I'm always left hanging.

You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Cause you can't understand.

I'm not happy. I'm NOT.
I'm a fake.
Fake-happy.
It's tiring.

Stop it.

I'm not a toy.

Po-ta-to.

2009-03-12T11:48:00.004+08:00

I think i'm developing very unhealthy eating habits.

Or very healthy, depending on how you look at it. Okay, the story is, everybody who knows me knows i like potatoes. Click here if you do not know what a potato is. And if you didn't before, now you do! Yippee! Anyways, moving on. I love potatoes no matter how you cook it: mashed, roasted, boiled, baked or just their skins. Yummers! I'm actually eating a potato right now.

Thing is, i have been eating about one everyday ever since we bought them this week. And we bought like, 5 or 6. And i'm down to the last one.

Okay fine, maybe i eat 2 a day. Or whatever.

What i have been doing to them is boiling them and then pouring butter and salt all over them. I can't be bothered to roast or bake them. Or mash them, because we have no gravy.

What i'm wondering is: is this unhealthy for me? This affair i seem to be having with potatoes? I've never heard the proverb: a potato a day keeps the doctor away. Stupid garden tubers. So frigging addictive.

Gonna go, i want chips now rawr.

P. S. I also probably shouldn't mention my little addiction to Redskins. I also have yet to find Pixy Stixs, SweeTarts and beef jerky here. Apparently you can only get beef jerky at gas stations. Damn it. Curse you elusive beef jerky. I will find you.

2009-03-11T19:55:00.005+08:00

Have you guys seen this?

Because I sure have.

Let me introduce the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition laptop. For those of you who were momentarily blinded by it, please click THIS LINK so that you can continue reveling in its awesomeness. This pint sized ruby “digital clutch” is only a startling one KG and is less than one inch thin. LESS THAN ONE INCH. That’s practically NOTHING. And it still has a 10. 1 inch wide screen LED display. I hate laptops with small, tiny square screens. It makes it impossible to watch movies comfortably. It’s light AND fast. This little cherry red deal runs on Intel® Atom N270 1.6-gigahertz (GHz) processors.

I thought I couldn’t want anything badly enough as i want my iPod Touch and the Sims 3 until I saw this. And now I’m sad because I can’t have it. If someone buys it for me, I’ll cheer up doubly, not only because of the peonies which are on the cover which represent prosperity, good fortune and happiness, or the lovely golden Chinese characters etched onto the ‘enter’ key which symbolize double happiness. And the keys. The KEYS. They are RED!

Smokin' hot, sexy red ;)

Hmm, normal, basic black or designer Vivienne Tam?

No, I'll have cheered up doubly because I’ll be the envy of every woman (and man too probably) whom see me carrying it around. Even people who aren’t fashionistas will BECOME fashionistas if they were carrying this. And fashionistas also including guys with this laptop. Every girl will probably flock to the laptop *cough* I mean to you!

I sorta feel sorry for this model because nobody was actually looking at her.

Speedy, sleek and chic?

Ladies and gents, I give you the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition laptop: the Ferrari of laptops.

Kudos to HP and fellow Hong Kong-er Vivienne Tam. You guys have truly outdone yourselves with this magnum opus.

Okay

2009-03-06T13:21:00.002+08:00

i know, i know. I haven't been updating. There are no photos, no urls, no updates on Facebook besides those stupid notes i keep doing because i'm bored.

I have reasons okay?

1. My SD card reader is missing = no photos.
2. Classes have started = no updating.

Also the fact that i am stealing internet from my neighbour or whoever it is adds to reason numero duo. I have currently no consistent internet. I disconnect ALL THE TIME and it is motherfishing slow. The fact that i downloaded 10 episode of How I Met Your Mother using up all his bandwidth is none of my concern. Dude should get more bandwidth! So SELFISH.

So what have i been up to, besides stealing internet from my good neighbour?

Nothing. There is NOTHING here. A huge blue sky and lush greenery devoid of 24/7 convenience stores and mamaks. Late night shopping here is up till 9 PM. 9 freaking PM.

I looked at Ginny and said: "Well whoop-dee-doo, there's not something you see everyday!"

Indeed you don't. Because late night shopping is only on Thursdays.

What else do i do...

I WALK. A LOT. Like, ALL THE TIME. I have not taken a bus anywhere, because i am trying to exercise being frugal and also, exercising hahaha i am so lame i know. I will also head to the fitness centre after this to go sign up for basketball training. Because ~~my booty ain't fruity if you get what~~ i am completely out of shape. Also i cannot leave the house without sunglasses because it is BRIGHT here. Those losers who wear sunglasses in the malls back in KL? Yeah, i'm pretty sure their eyes would melt right out of the sockets if they came here. And i am tan. Yes. TAN. I am BROWN now. Which isn't bad, but considering how pale and sickly white the rest of my body is, it looks weird.

Oh, and my hair is purple now.

I shall end right there to see the reactions i'm going to be getting. Bahaha.

Am i dead?

2009-02-22T15:13:00.000+08:00

Unfortunately, no.

Hehe, kidding. My days have been a cacophony of walking, unpacking, shopping for groceries, walking, packing, Dreamworld, playing PS2, more walking (sometimes with Fudge) and did i say walking? Because i walk everywhere, since i don't have my trusty Waja anymore T_T I swear, CD has it better than i do. Because the buses here? Yeah, every half an hour. Which is precisely how long it took me and Angie to walk from Toowong Village back home. And i shall not say where home is thank you very much. I do not want crazy stalker-ish people finding me. Anyways.

So there has also been a lot of sorting shit out. Like classes and stuff. Everything is online, which is good but also a little annoying because i don't have internet right now. Unless i'm at Angie's house in GC, which is a different story. I have also been budgeting and saving as much as possible by not things that keep whispering to me. I saw the Sims 3 in a store the other day and i nearly cried because it was, get this: AUD$100. Well $99. blah blah. I wanted to weep.

I am slowly learning to live without aircon at night. It SUCKS without aircon. I DIE every night. And i wake up at all sorts of hours, because i am so uncomfortable. I really, really, REALLY want an aircon. I also wish i had my books and PS2 games, because other than reading and gaming, there's nothing to do at night that's not half an hour's walk away. Hopefully when autumn comes, it won't be so FRIGGING hot in my room. I am trying to upload pictures, but it is taking forever, so it seems like my words will have to do for now.

Also, i think i am getting a tan. Ish. Which makes me look sort of healthier. The sun here is pretty lethal. It was really bad when we went to Dreamworld, but SPF 30+ sunblock saved me. We really need sunblock here. And because of my perpetual zombie-ness i also cannot travel anywhere without my sunnies, but i am learning to. My apartment is starting to really feel like home. Just wish there was internet and a car parked outside. Also a self-refilling kitchen.

Today's weather was great. Slept at 6 AM or something, because we decided it would be nice to go for a twilight walk at 1 AM. Took Fudge along too. Will be heading back to Brisbane tonight though, after devouring a fish i just caught on Angie's pier just now. Fishing is FUN! I actually caught a pretty big fish! And her mom will cook it soon. I promise i'll update properly as soon as i have internet. And will get a newer header once i can bug my roomie enough to make me one.

Ta people :) Take care!
Lots of love from Down Under,

p.

Hello from Koalaland

2009-02-14T18:07:00.001+08:00

Yes i know, i am blogging! I am superior because i have internets. At Angie's house actually, will head up to Brisbane tomorrow to set things up. Walked Fudge today! So fun! He's so cuteeee! Actually i'm gonna go now. Ta!

Tally ho

2009-02-13T02:07:00.002+08:00

So i'm leaving in about 19 hours.

This is now very difficult to process. I keep telling myself it's just like a holiday (lies lies lies) but it's not working.

To make myself feel better, i decided on retail therapy. Have a very nice long sleeved tee now. I've been looking for decent long sleeved tees for a long time, but still can't find a comfy white one which isn't semi-transparent to my frustration.

Right now, i'm lost.

4:57

2009-02-11T06:24:00.000+08:00

I woke up suddenly and realised my words don't go the way i want them to. I cannot say what i feel; i cannot show what i cannot say. I am cold insipid, locked in an imaginary frieze. I am

to most things. I do not like to take sides. I do not like to care more than i should about things, because it always ends with pain. Even though pain is good, i am not that much of a masochist. I get more than my fair share of pain thankyouverymuch. This little mish-mash will end here because i am sleepy.

I am bored at 1:42 AM

on Friday. Lunch at One U with Maddie, then mani/pedi. Back to her house, then Inkheart with MM at 10:30 PM. Don't watch, it's not really worth it. Bredan Fraser tried though :(

Bear bear.

THEY'RE ALL CHOCOLATES OKAY.

Condom chocolate.

This is what i did on Saturday night.

Sunday afternoon. Azmin's wedding at Putrajaya! I was there for a shoot once at the same place they had the wedding reception, about 2 years back during work experience week.

This is what i did on Sunday night.

And now i've got to run BAI.

Please

2009-02-08T02:56:00.002+08:00

first put on your head/earphones. Then turn the sound up LOUD. It isn't that freaky stuff where something suddenly screams. Just do it. Then press play. Thank you.

Cute balls!

2009-02-05T03:18:00.000+08:00

Taggered.

2009-02-05T01:10:00.000+08:00

Yes, i think the title makes no sense. And it is a completely made up word. I think made up words are grool. Okay that's a lie i stole it from Mean Girls. Anyways. Sarah tagged me right back after i "interviewed" her. You feisty wench you. By the way, it sorta reminds me of the oh-so-popular Facebook tag: 25 random things/facts about you. Here's mine by the way.

Once you've been tagged, you're supposed to write a note of 10 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 5 people to be tagged.

Hehe, may i just say, before i start, how much i look forward to tagging people? It's sort of annoying, but nice to be tagged. You guys know what i mean. That "Oh-God, i have to do this shit" feeling, combined with the whole "Yay! I'm remembered and people are interested in what i might have to say!" feeling.

Well. I feel that anyways.

1. I've tried biting my nails once, so i could look cool having a bad habit. Okay no i'm lying; i just wanted to try it. And i don't get why people do it. Is it relaxing or something? You just end up with bad nails that keep getting stuck on cloth or whatever. And scratching people. Not to mention yourself. No offence to people who bite nails of course. Just no idea why you do it.

2. I would really like to be an author. I'd like to write the kind of book you would want to read over and over again. I want my writing to touch people and make them think. I want them to leave reality and enter my world.

Only i haven't thought of a world yet, so it's not happening anytime soon. The book i mean.

3. I don't like skinny guys much. I especially don't like guys skinnier than me. It's just off-putting. I'd just look at myself and go "Well that's nice fatty, he's half of you." Also need to be taller than me preferably and big arms would be nice :)

4. I really, really, really want the Sims 3.

5. I'm looking at Armani's new collection right now, and i really, really, really want the seventh and thirteenth outfit too. I'm sure nevina agrees. Props to her for the link.

Wait, damn you actually. Now i want one, and i'm gonna krai.

6. This -_- is my favourite emoticon. Or face to draw using the keyboard.

7. I hate borrowing money from people. It's just bad to owe people money. I feel so damn guilty. I have no qualms about lending money however. As long as i have enough to survive, it's no prob.

8. My favourite anime right now is Skip Beat. Don't laugh.

9. I am out of credit right now.

10. I like baking. But i don't really like eating what i've baked. NOT COS IT TASTES BAD OKAY. Just feel fat after a while.

Now here's my favourite part hahaha. I tag Angie, Arthur, Rae, Ron and Rudy. Hahaha suckers. I just realised their names all start with 'a's and 'r's. Anywho, movie time!

See-En-Why.

2009-02-04T18:31:00.001+08:00

Yes yes yes, i realise i haven't posted up pictures of my CNY. So sue me. Blogger's been a bitch... And so has Facebook now i think about it. So this is Day 2, at my house. The small person made it as a surprise. Talk about a new trend of "bai leen" gifts.

Grandma is very enthusiastic as you can see. Very happy with screaming baby in arms.
By the way, HER grandma, not mine.

Yawn.

I love this pic so much.

Feeding time.

Feeding time for others.

Smell head!

As you can see, i'm not the only one who's obsessed with taking photos of her.
He took like 1000.

Poo poo time! See video.

And yes my auntie was making those noises.
Also, please avoid picture below if you are eating.

Ta dah!

My uncle happily taking my money.
Evil.

My auntie came back from the UK! So we had dinner. With my grandaunt and her daughter as well.

Auntie! Even though she's only like my sister's age.
It's the Hainanese generation thing.

Next day went for lunch with said auntie from UK and her friends.

Aww so cute, wearing my glasses!
Yes, my auntie is hot kthxbai.

Then family dinner with another uncle who's back from Germany. His wife, my other auntie, is back already.

My uncle was cold, so my mom gave him her pashmina.
He's trying to get my Dad to wear it so that they can take a picture.

Yee sang!

By the way, i hate yee sang. Bleargh. Also, all the pictures are on Facebook. Gotta go!

Another meme.

2009-02-02T19:49:00.000+08:00

Here's a set of questions i got from Hope for the Lazy Blogger's Need Content Meme. Yes, i am quite a lazy blogger if you haven't noticed. I only update when i have pictures or funny videos. Anyways. Rules.

1. Leave me a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I’ll email you five questions, of my determination not yours!
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

So. Here are my questions.

1. First up a girly question. If you had to choose only one cosmetic to use for the rest of your life, which would it be and why?

Eeeeasy. Eyeliner no doubt about it. It's the only cosmetic i actually use on a daily basis. Seriously. And i cannot leave the house without eyeliner, or else i look like i have no eyes at all. The cons of being Chinese. Sigh. That, plus my lip balm (Nivea cherry/strawberry, i alternate each time i run out) and i'm good to go! Maybe a light dusting of my Benefit powder + concealer if i'm having a few pimples.

2. If you could be the child of anyone famous, whose child would you want to be and why?

I think... Oh this is hard. Probably Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's. At least i'd be good looking. And have lots of brothers and sisters. That's one of the shitty parts of being the youngest by a far mile. You get left alone a lot :(

I obviously have issues.

3. Quick. Meredith? Christina? Izzy? Who do you most resemble?

I'm gonna say Meredith. I know i say she annoys me at times, but we have certain similarities.

4. Who is the first person you want to call when you need advice?

I usually don't call any one specific person for everything. It depends on what i need advice for. Usually 8/10 i'll call my girlfriends. The other 2/10, MM. Because guys just can't offer up decent advice for emotional stuff. Sorry guys.

5. And taking one from my own that I really enjoyed answering. Describe your perfect day.

My perfect day would be one where i wouldn't have to withdraw money from an ATM. Someone calls me early out for lunch. We hang about, go shopping, chat. Purchase a book and find a nice summery dress, both of which still leave me with enough money to splurge on food. Then going out somewhere with people who provide a lot of free alcohol for me. And sleeping. Yay!

---

I'm leaving in 11 days. It occured to me last night, while trying to sleep again but that bitch, Insomnia, kept me up, that my anxiety at leaving actually is showing. Through my sleepless nights and lethargy. Which is slightly disturbing. As the date looms closer, i find myself growing a small knot of apprehensiveness at the thought of my upcoming departure. My chest is tight and my breathing constricted. Don't get me wrong though. I look forward to moving to Australia, but am a bit reluctant to leave certain things behind; forsaking them for newer things. Such as responsibility. And the coming of study sessions, exams and note-taking torture.

I've got to pack.

The Time Traveler's Wife

2009-02-01T05:12:00.003+08:00

Oh this is lovely! A movie version of the Time Traveler's Wife. Rachel McAdams is sex on a beach. I love her!

It's a great book, and you guys should check it out. Gotta, go it's 5 AM, but i just had to tell someone. Also, new lay, yay or nay? I'm guessing nay, because it's so plain at the moment. But i'll try do something to it, i promise. Either that, or wait till i get to Australia, where Angie can help me. Shit, i have a lunch appointment at 12:30 PM.

Ta!

KINDER EXPOSE

2009-01-31T18:34:00.005+08:00

Okay, i know you guys can't read the title of my blog post, but it says KINDER EXPOSE. God damn it, i need a new blog layout. But since i am a noob with photoshop, it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Anyone want to help a poor young girl? Anyone? No? Well bleep you. Just kidding. Okay not really. Okay, that's not the point. The POINT is, i believe i blogged about Kinder Eggs in Malaysia some time ago (okay, last year). And my auntie came back from Germany, so she brought me back a REAL KINDER EGG, like i asked her to. And here is the real deal people.

Yes, it is wrapped in ALUMINUM FOIL. Sorry, i know it's all crinkly, because i decided to unwrap it first, THEN remembered to take a picture.

And there are TWO HALVES. Not ONE. Stupid Kinder Eggs in Malaysia. Such a con job.

TA-DAH! The surprise! Only now they're not so fun to make, because they only come in like, one piece? Or it's a figurine or something.

Okay, at this point, my Dad came in and asked me if one of his sideburns was longer than the other, then asked me to cut the longer side shorter for him, and i insisted on taking a picture of the uneven sideburns, proving that nobody should ever get haircuts at those RM12/15 Quickcut places.

Long.

Short.

Okay, back to the egg.

So after i consumed the egg (in like, 2 bites), i opened the surprise. And look!

Instructions! In German! Whoopee!
Doesn't take a genius to figure out how this toy's supposed to look.

Hello Smurf!

He's chanting some ritual thing over a fishbowl.

So that, my dear readers, is a REAL Kinder Egg. Okay gotta go practice my pipa for an upcoming performance. Ta!

Shoes.

2009-01-29T17:12:00.002+08:00

Props to Rudy for this. The Number Nine Converse look nice. The Coraline one is cooool! I wouldn't WEAR them or anything. Okay, maybe. But they are very inappropriate for basketball. They have TAILS coming out the back. TAILS. Which is soo cute. The Twilight Trainer is very meh. Blah. Blase.

The Coraline game is out! I'm off to download. Along with Big Bang Mini. Ta.

LOL

2009-01-28T17:41:00.002+08:00

When trying to download movies, you should always read the comments of the people who've downloaded it before you, to see whether the quality is good, whether it is recorded in the cinema, or if it cuts off halfway or something like that. This being said; i was trying to download Milk, and was reading the comments...

And all i have to say is HAHAHA! And watch Slumdog Millionaire. It is really good. Totally deserved those Oscars. Or whatever award. Next up: pictures of CNY: Day 2 at my house. Rest are on Facebook. Forgive me, i am very much obsessed with my cousin niece. She's so cuuute :D

Bride Wars.

2009-01-27T00:58:00.000+08:00

Okay. Girls, click this. Guys, you might want to click too, but from the reactions i got from my guy friends and MM when i sent them the link ("Oh God, is that out here?" and "-_-" and "Uwwwh") i suggest to refrain from doing so. Unless you are gay. Then go ahead you sexy people. You will thank me for this. Unless you don't like chick flicks, or hate Kate Hudson/Anne Hathaway.

In which case, i'll just have to say WTF I LOVE THEM THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE ACTRESSES!
Okay, just two of my favourites (others include Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale; btw, what is UP with all these (C)KATES?). Well anyways, that was a link to the trailer of the new movie Bride Wars. I can't be arsed to summarise, but will rant about how i can't find the download ANYWHERE. Well, i can find several video camcorder-ed versions of it, but i like good quality thank you. Or i will not be satisfied.

Moving on, nevina just told me that they're getting ready to start with ANTM again! Cycle 12 people. To be honest, the girls from all the seasons (okay, season 4) keep getting mixed up in my mind. I keep forgetting who won and which season they're from yadda yadda yadda...

nevina says:
OH OH OH have you seen that they've put out the promo for ANTM cycle 12 already!!!
I can't believe how quickly they go through it
they just finished cycle 11!
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
WOOOO
THAT'S AWESOME
I CAN'T WAIT
but i keep forgetting who wins
nevina says:
HAHAHAH
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
all the girls are all jumbled up lol
nevina says:
exactly
they all become the same in the end :S
and actually that's why the show is criticised by the industry greats
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
yeah
sigh
nevina says:
Karl Largerfeld said that in none of these cycles have they produced a Gemma Ward or anyone like her who does well on the international level
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
ooooh so so true.
nevina says:
the winners are just forgotten, and essentially have to work all the way back to the top from where they won
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
NONE of them have even gotten to Tyra's level
i think the point of the show faded
nevina says:
exactly
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
and Tyra's just content with making money
cos people LOVE the show.
like me.
and you.
nevina says:
couldn't agree more
peachy is saxion. I AM GODZILLA, YOU ARE JAPAN. says:
and winnie the pooh.

Anyways. I'm going to watch Repo! The Genetic Opera now, courtesy of, once again, nevina, who has made a cameo appearance in my blog. Oi, meet up la woman. Anyways, ta!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Okay, i got a little annoyed writing that. It just sounds so... lame. But whatever. Today was my brother's birthday; and i'm not gonna specify exactly which day (because it could be the 25th or 26th hahaha or maybe we're celebrating early or late) because my brother is a paranoid person and another reason why I NEED PHOTOSHOP (so someone please buy for me asap). Anyways, we're actually celebrating CNY eve. Photos:

I hope my Muslim readers don't get offended by the following picture.
Sorry!

Yes, it is a car.
And yes, that blank spot is where his name is meant to be.

Yes, MM was there!
Meet the parents.

Bahahaha.
I could die for this.

Come in the picture.
*shakes head*
Oh my God you're already in it.
Am i?!

Brother => Sister.

Cousin with crazy huge ass lens.

If you're wondering (because i would if i were you), my shirt reads:
"I was a simple paper bag before i met you."

MM and i bought my brother the first Sandman book by Neil Gaiman. I really want to steal it -_- Thankfully i have The Time Traveller's Wife and Fables: Arabian Nights (And Days) to keep me satisfied. There are fireworks outside my window, but i cannot see them, only hear, thanks to all the massive condos around -_-

Also, i got tagged! Alright, when i say "tagged", i'm using that kind of loosely because CD just tagged anyone who's name/alias starts with an 's'. So here is my fourth picture from the fourth folder of my Pictures folder.

Ewww. This was ages ago BSC when we went to watch Gamarjobat. It was GREAT. We even got to meet Hiropon and Ketchi. Let's see if i can find a picture...

Ta-dah! With Hiropon only though. Ketchi has a red mohawk. And they signed my ticket. Ew i look so young. And my hair was long :O I think this was when i was 15? 16? Something like that -_-

Oh my God, Grey's is out! And i'm gonna continue watching Ip Man, which is freaking epic. Ta!

Childhood friends.

JJ and JS are back for CNY from Beijing. Visuals only; too lazy to write.

Once again.

2009-01-23T18:44:00.002+08:00

It seems i have to revert back to having password protected posts again. There are some things i just simply don't want people to read, don't trust with the information or is just for one specific person alone. Feel free to ask me for the password.

Poop here.

My 600th post people. Happy birthday to this blog! Or whatever.

Public speaking.

2009-01-21T01:33:00.003+08:00

I swear, the minister swearing in President Obama was waaaaay too excited.
Also, Bush looked extremely solemn and sad. Which i found quite hilarious.

Pictures from today; i met up with Po! (aka. Daniel)

Argh too big!

Ha ha!

A kid saw him and said "EEEE!" really loudly lol!

Squish face.

Zoom zoom zoom. Off to read new books :)

I Cannot Tahan List.

2009-01-18T22:11:00.005+08:00

I'm taking a leaf out of Ringo's book and writing my own I Cannnot Tahan list. Simply because i have nothing to do and i'm secretly wondering how long my list will be.

1. I cannot tahan when my Internet starts acting like a *BEEEEEEEEP* and logs me out of MSN every 10 minutes.
2. I cannot tahan when people argue.
3. I cannot tahan people who decide that they need to wash their parts "down there" and decide to have a water party in public toilets. Also the fact that they leave the toilet seat wet and they have "conveniently" wet the tissue paper as well.
4. I cannot tahan public toilets in Malaysia.
5. I cannot tahan the cold. Which is why i'm going to Brisbane.
6. I cannot tahan learning hiragana/katakana/kanji all by myself. Someone should suffer with me.
7. I cannot tahan repeating myself.
8. I cannot tahan losing my songs. It's very annoying when they disappear and then they "can't be found on iTunes. Would you like to locate the file?"
9. I cannot tahan when someone wakes me up. I get very annoyed (to the point of possibly hitting the person and yelling at them) and am grumpy for a few hours after.
10. I cannot tahan people who say they can do things they can't.
11. I cannot tahan not knowing things i know i know.
12. I cannot tahan people who stare at you bitchily and then whisper to their friends. What you wanna say huh?
13. I cannot tahan bad English. I usually overlook it though to be polite, unless you are a good friend like Caryn who i want to strangle sometimes for using funny words.
14. I cannot tahan waiting. Especially if i'm a hurry or a bad mood.
15. I cannot tahan being alone for too long. Unless i'm seeking solitude, then it's a different story.
16. I cannot tahan people wearing boots in Malaysia. It is HOT MAN!
17. I cannot tahan CNY.
18. I cannot tahan my mother.
19. I cannot tahan not having a book to read.
20. I cannot tahan when my Dad asks me to go watch something on TV when i'm eating/in the toilet/on my laptop.
21. I cannot tahan when people like to turn on more lights when i am practicing my piano/pi pa. LEAVE THE LIGHTS! And also the fan -_-
22. I cannot tahan double parkers. Unless they are only gonna be there for a second and come running out saying sorry. If you're the kind of person who double parks and goes far far away then you're an ass.
23. I cannot tahan Ah Bengs/Ah Lians. I am sorry, but you are not cool.
24. I cannot tahan people who take advantage of others and only look out for themselves. Basically, users.
25. I cannot tahan having nothing to do.
26. I cannot tahan having nothing to munch on.
27. I cannot tahan stupid questions.
28. I cannot tahan construction. CONSTRUCTION SUCKS!
29. I cannot tahan owing people money.
30. I cannot tahan NDS games that i want to play but have only been released in Japanese.
31. I cannot tahan having my period.
32. I cannot tahan people who make fun of others for certain traits when they have the same ones. And double standards.
33. I cannot tahan people who don't listen to both sides of the story.
34. I cannot tahan having no credit.
35. I cannot tahan having less than RM 50 in my wallet.

I think i shall stop now. In fact, i should be making a New Year's Resolutions list. I haven't done one because i noticed a lot of people doing it back then and decided to wait.

Clumsy monkey blogs again.

2009-01-18T00:58:00.003+08:00

Now that i feel slightly better, i shall blog about today (whoops, i mean yesterday's) events.

Left the house after saying sayonara to auntie. Picked up MM. Headed to Bangsar. Saw Nadia at Bombshell; haven't seen her for ages! Tried looking at stuff: dresses are always too short for me and become tops :( Bought 3 pairs of earrings though. One pair are cherries :D

After our lunch at Sakae Sushi (where i managed to put my hiragana to use, and managed to read "oishii" and "umai"), went to Cold Storage where i bought this:

It's Bloody Mary mix in a bottle! How friggin' cool is that?! Well, technically it's Virgin Mary mix in a bottle. Cos it has no alcohol. But they do say MIX so it implies you need to add something. And since i'm not a HUGE fan of Bloody Marys, drinking it virgin is fine. Which is what i'm doing now. On the rocks. So anyways. After that, went back to the car. I swear, Bangsar's full of double parked cars. What happened was, there was a double parked TRUCK behind me. And i really, truly had NO FREAKING IDEA it was there. So i backed into it. Heard an awful crunching sound. And drove off because there was nothing to be done :( The lorry driver came hurrying out though.

Was very worried about telling my Dad. Had no credit to call him, so messaged him to call me.

Hello?
Yes? You asked me to call?
Yeah. Errm. Where are you?
Driving. I'm on handsfree.
What is that sound? It's like i can hear someone talking.
No one's talking. No one's here.
Really? (I realised it was the staticky echo of my voice later -_-)
Yes. What is it? Where are you?
I'm at MM's house. Anyways, there's something... Errm, wrong with the car.
Oh?
Yeah. I kinda accidentally backed into a truck that was double parked behind me. So the right tail light is broken. The bulbs are intact though.
Oh...
So. Errm. Should i take it to fix? Or what?
Is that it?
Yeah.
Okay. *cuts off*
Hello?! O____O

I thought he didn't understand what happened. And felt so bad -_- Like maybe he underestimated the damage. But turns out he really meant it was okay. For which i am thankful. Phew. Anyways, going to watch Bleach now. Ta.

Clumsy monkey.

2009-01-17T19:37:00.006+08:00

Today:

1. Auntie went back to Hong Kong. Bye bye.
2. Picked up MM and went to Bombshell for their junkyard sale. Saw Nadia there :D
3. Ate at Sakae Sushi at Bangsar Village 2.
4. Saw gingerbread houses/Christmas trees made by children on display.

5. Bought stuff from Cold Storage.
5. Backed car into truck double parked behind me: smashed tail light.

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK I'M A NERD JUST BECAUSE I SAY I'M LEARNING ELVISH?!

Okay, i know, super lame, but it's NICE. It SOUNDS nice, and it LOOKS nice.
So nice, i might want it on me forever.

Which is why i'm learning it.

And also, it's funny to curse at people in it, because no one understand. No need for useless "wo hen ni"s and "diu ni ah ma"s and "baka"s and "pabou"s. Win.

Nai Valaraukar tye-matár to you Muffin Man!

Kay-Lee

2009-01-12T01:08:00.003+08:00

Today was full of new things.

I got a new haircut. Well, hairstyle more like. Went to Bombshell in Bangsar. Ming did my hair for me.

I like my new look. My head feels so light now :) I have layers everywhere too. And my fringe isn't doing that annoying curly thing. I also got a new top from the Show Pink boutique in the same place. Bombshell is at No. 9-2, Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar. They're also having a junkyard sale next weekend, from the 17th-18th.

So after my haircut, went home to pick up stuff then off to see my new cousin niece, Kay-Lee.

Hello sleepy!

+ Cousin Eugene

Auntie Irene.

+ Ju-Yen & Auntie Judy.

L to R: Mom, Auntie Bettie, Dad, cousin Effie.

Had dinner there as my aunties had just come back (one Germany, one Melbourne) to visit. Am going to watch Grey's Anatomy now. Ta.

Nuu

2009-01-09T23:06:00.005+08:00

Okay, i'm on a Lord of the Rings-athon, and Gandalf just died in Moria.

I'm damn sad now man. I know he's alive, but, whatever, i really thought he died back then, and it's sooo touching.

Gandalf rocks man. I felt the same when Sirius dies, but LOTR is much more epic.
Therefore:

Gandalf > Sirius Black.

But Gandalf = Dumbledore in terms of dying.

But LOTR is still epic-er.

EDIT:

LOL @ Gimli

Gimli: Stay close young hobbits! They say that a great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf-witch of terrible power. All who look upon her... Are under her spell.

*Galadriel whispering: Frodo!*

Gimli: And are never seen again.

*Galadriel whispering: Your coming to us is as the footsteps of doom. You bring great evil here, Ring-bearer!*

Sam: Mr. Frodo?

Gimli: Well here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk, and the ears of a fox... Oh!

Haldir: The dwarf breathe so loud we could've shot him in the dark.

Aragorn: -_-

Hehe. I'm watching the extended versions of all the movies by the way.

EDIT 2:

On the Two Towers now. Just wanna say that when Gandalf "died"? It's seems to me like it's some sort of upgrade. Like in a game. Like another level. Haha.

LOL @ Gimli again:

Legolas: The Elves began it... Waking the trees up and teaching them to speak.

Gimli: Talking trees... What do trees have to talk about; except the consistency of squirrel droppings.

The Sims 3

2009-01-09T01:10:00.001+08:00

Yay :)

I love the Sims! And now that they have AI for all the other Sims in the neighbourhood, it's gonna be so interesting :D

10 Random Things

2009-01-08T17:48:00.002+08:00

Okay i got tagged. And since i have no food and no television series to keep me occupied, i'll just do it -_- Okay, so, 10 random things about myself. Hmm. I think i've actually done this before, but whatever.

1. After i watch really cool movies, i secretly fantasize that i
a) have a car that can transform into an organism
b) am an elf who is on a quest to help destroy the One Ring
c) have secret kung fu powers or
d) am trying to escape from a humongous monster that just attacked New York city.

And i am fully aware that i do not live in NY, but then again, hence the word fantasize. Now you all know my secrets.

2. I judge on first impressions. But once i get to know you better, i think differently. Or maybe not. Depends.

3. I am a closet fashionista :O Yes i actually love trying out new stuff/trends, but lack of money leads me back to my jeans.

4. I have damn small hands. My hands can be the same size of that of an 8 year old. Okay, maybe 9. Or 10.

5. I have never puked from ingesting too much alcohol. Ever. Actually, yet. So far. Neither have i ever blacked out or forgotten what i said/did the night before. Snaps for me!

6. I do not like eating taugeh/bean sprouts/nga choy. Whatever you call it. It is YUCKY. Okay.

7. My late paternal grandparents, actually my father's side of the family call me Gigi. Or used to when i was young, because i had terrible teeth back then and looked like a shark. Gigi is teeth in Malay fyi.

8. Once, i went drinking with Sukhdip and his colleagues from work, only to find out a few weeks later that one of his colleagues was my uncle. Weird shit man.

9. I have 6, soon to be 7 piercings.

10. I like kids. But i'm not sure if i want any. Lol.

Okay, i'm gonna tag:

1. Angie
2. Arthur
3. nevina
4. Nicole
5. Rudy
6. Sarah
7. Sharon

7 people. Yay!

Kah Heng's 21st

2009-01-08T16:17:00.005+08:00

Too lazy to write. In short: Maddie was too busy to layan us as she was being a pizza factory for the night and everyone else was gambling.

Happy 21st to Kah Heng and Flavia!

It's S, that's my name.

2009-01-07T18:41:00.003+08:00

So i got my letter from Hope :)
It's 's' by the way.

The rules:

You leave a comment on this post, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

***

1. Saturdays. The thing i love about Saturdays is that they are the ultimate days of relaxation. Next day is Sunday, so you can sleep in. Day before was Friday; you were probably partying hard so you can lie in and get over your hangover on Saturday.

2. Sleeping. It's one of my favourite hobbies. You can just get away from it all.

3. Shots. Because you are meant to down them, meaning you don't have to spend ages sipping on a nasty tasting on-the-rocks concoction. And there's always the added bonus of getting shitfaced faster.

4. Spending is really the word i'm looking for. Not shopping, not shoes. But just spending in general is what makes me happy. On anything. Because i'm not only interested in clothes and shoes. Books make me happier. And they last longer.

5. Spontaneity. I love surprises too.

6. Sincerity. Who doesn't love someone who's sincere?

7. Sunrise/sunsets. Self-explanatory.

8. Secrets. They keep people interesting.

9. Sushi.

10. Scarves. The ultimate laid-back accessory.

Ta dah! So, if you guys want a letter, let me know!

Mario Kart Love Song.

2009-01-06T23:09:00.002+08:00

SOOOO CUTE. Mario Kart Love Song :)

You be my princess
I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.

Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts

Chorus:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let's go again

The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away

Chorusx2

to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup

walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

New York, New York

2009-01-06T01:51:00.001+08:00

Today. One Utama. With MM.

He picked me up at 4:30. My heels today SUCKED. Charles and Keith seem to have really bad quality yo. Just a heads up. What happened to me was that the ornament on my right shoe fell off first; i picked it up then kept it. The the sole of the left shoe decided to come apart later. So i got everything fixed for RM 4. Later, when i went into the toilet, i noticed that the ornament off my left shoe was gone, and a couple of minutes later the sole of my right shoe came off.

What a waste of 4 bucks. Seriously. My mom also had the same trouble with her Charles and Keith she got in Singapore. I threw away mine just now. My sister actually passed them to me. I mean, even Vincci seems better than them. Gah.

Anyways, we decided to have our late lunch (well, technically breakfast for me) at New York, New York. Like the song :) It's on the Ground Floor, near Cold Storage in the new wing. Been itching to try it.

Nice menu.

"Hmm, what should i eat?"

All day breakfast ROCKS.

My Pink Inc. quencher. Or was it cooler?
Quite good by the way. In the menu, it's apparently "Da bomb".

MM's Tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and chicken.
I think.

And his Dark Strawberry drink.
Not bad; very thick and chocolatey.

Dutch Cheese Baked Mussels.
7/10!

Mine were the ones without those sucker thingies.
Or whatever.

My Penne with Alfredo Sauce & Roast Chicken.

"Stop taking pictures!"

"Why is the chicken so tough?"

"Gah!"

The chicken was so super dry. Even the drumstick.

Meh. Because of that, the dish gets 6/10. Even though the pasta was nicely done.

I think you guys should give the place a try. It's got awesome stuff! I'll probably never order my dish again though. They have nice sandwiches and great deserts from the looks of the menu. So that was my day. Didn't manage to get my 7th piercing, because my other sole broke just then, and i was too pissed off to walk all the way to Dragonfly. We did get OneCards though. Awesome :) Now we can collect points!

3 in the morning.

2009-01-05T03:05:00.004+08:00

Dear blog,

I seem to be writing on you more often than i should be. Do i really have no one else to talk to? Or is it because boyfriend is sleeping/out/doing whatever it is he's doing and i can't complain to him or call because i feel that it would be mean to wake him up if he is sleeping?

Or is it because it's 3:07 AM, and i'm listening to Snow Patrol, and feeling slightly melancholy for reasons that are unknown to myself? It is odd; very odd indeed.

Love,

Your author.

Dear cheesecake-that-i-ate-earlier,

I really think that it was a mistake that i ate you. And a really big piece of you too, because right now i'm feeling slighty nauseous. It is very annoying, and my tummy feels like someone eating spaghetti with my intestines.

Sorry,

Girl who ate you.

Dear Air Asia,

Can you please change my flight to 15/2?

Love,

Unsatisfied Customer.

Dear Daddy,

Please buy me my iTouch since it is next year already, and also because of the emotional rage i will go through if they cannot change my flight. I will be angery1 (inside joke) if you do not, since my Nano is cacat already.

Love,

Your (younger) daughter.

Dear MPH/Borders,

I hope that when i go to your store(s) sometime this week, that i will find the books i want to read. You guys seem to be running out of everything, and very unorganized, so please please restock by the time i am there.

Love,

Avid Book Reader.

Dear Youtube,

Why are all the videos i'm trying to load not available? Please fix.

Love,

Peachy.

Angie in KL!

2009-01-05T00:28:00.005+08:00

Okay, i'm pretty damn sure i mentioned Angie was in KL on the 26th of December. Our families had dinner at the Curve to get acquainted/reacquainted with each other. She just uploaded the pictures. Feast your eyes.

Haha, Bob so funny.

Angie with Bob.

And that's it :(

Sadly. But we'll take shitloads of pictures when i'm down there. Another old friend came up from Singapore. Charmaine and Cheryl came up to visit! They were both from GIS too. Charm was in the same year as me. They left a long time ago, but we still keep in touch.

Me & Charm.

Cheryl.

Reliving our childhood haha.

It's so awesome to see your old best friends. And still be best friends when you meet up again :)

Bleep yet again.

2009-01-05T00:13:00.003+08:00

I really can't express how angry i am at my Dad right now.

See, for ages, i've been telling him to book my flight ticket, book my flight ticket, BOOK MY FLIGHT TICKET DAD. And he said he had, he had, he had.

When in reality, he had not.

Which is very annoying, since i have to coordinate with Angie on when i'm arriving, when she should move in, when she should pick me up etc. And i've planned my departure very carefully; arriving about a week before my orientation starts so i can get the apartment ready and settled with Angie and also not leaving too early so i can spend more time with friends and MM. So the date i decided on was the 15th. I was very firm on the 15th because it is a week before orientation, and a day after Valentines. It'll be our first, so i was gung-ho on the 15th of February.

This morning, when i woke up, i had a message from my Dad from the night before. It said that our flight is confirmed for the 13th of February. The THIRTEENTH. When i got up, i sure let him have it. And the thing is now, it can't be changed. Because he already paid.

Well fuck that, because i said the fifteenth. And when i wanted to book it, when there were flights still available, he said don't. And when he booked it last night, all the flights were full.

STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS WHO DON'T FUCKING STOCK THE HOUSE WITH FOOD AND CAN'T BOOK AIR TICKETS AND DON'T KNOW IF MY INSURANCE IS COVERED OVERSEAS.

That is all.

Camera blues.

2009-01-04T02:42:00.001+08:00

Today began with another wake up call from my Dad. Last day of spring cleaning (or so they say, touch wood) the house for CNY. I know it's like 2 weeks away, but my parents like to do it early so they can do all the other ma-fan things that come up during then. I actually sort of hate Chinese New Year. But more on that later. Met up with Maddie, Ellie and Caryn at One Utama for lunch at 1 PM. Well, the meeting time was 1 PM, but then i only got to Zanmai at 1:30 because it took ages to find parking. It. Was. Bad. Anyways. Pictures.

Yes, that thing i'm holding is a camera. Not a real one mind you. I've had people ask if it was though -_- You must be wondering where i got such good quality (okay, fine, better-than-my-camera-phone-quality) pictures. The answer is, i've got a camera!

Okay, technically, i've had this camera for about a year. Or less. My sister gave it to me because she got a new one (i think O_O). But the thing is, she passed me only the charger and the camera itself. No USB cable. So i thought, oh, what the hell la, can't even upload photos, take for what. Which is true, what's the point? So i kept it lying around. Until today; when i decided to go to shops to find the USB cable (since my sister hasn't been back recently to pass me the USB cable). Thing is, none of the camera/IT shops sold my camera's USB cable (Casio if you're wondering). Until the last shop we went into.

Shop assistant: Well, you can get an SD card reader to transfer your files to the computer.
An SD card reader?
Yes, you should have it on your laptop.
My latop doesn't have one actually... (My Dad bought a cheapo BenQ for me; laptop fail)
Oh, well you can purchase an external one.
Oh, for this camera? *shows camera*
Hold on. *talks to colleague*
*low voice* I think i know what she's talking about.
Yes, here it is.
Thanks. *looks at package*
*nudge; mimes 'no'*
*stalling* Errm, can you maybe open it to see if my card fits?
Okay. *goes away*
What?
Oh i have the same one. Don't buy it. I'll give you mine.
Cool.

Then we left :D Anyways. Maddie needed to buy a cake for her boyfriend, so we spent quite a bit of time waiting for her to choose a suitable cake at the jelly shop (opposite Cold Storage in the new wing). So we got bored and started taking photos.

Yeah, she did that on purpose.

So after she got the cake, we walked to get ice cream at Gelato Fruity. Caryn got durian, which tastes really good, but then after everyone tried it, our ice creams tasted really bad. Which was really funny, cos it didn't happen to me at first, until i ate like 5 spoons of the durian gelati. Then i didn't want my sour cherry yoghurt anymore.

We went to Dragonfly, waiting for Maddie to buy her earrings. One of her holes semi-closed or was too small for the earring. So she had to force it in. Or rather, she screamed while i tried and so did the guy at the shop. Then she got it in herself. After lots of screaming. Hehe. Very entertaining indeed :D

Hey, it's not going in.
Why not? Is your hole too small or something?
I dunno... It's just not going.
Lemme try. *pushes earring*
OW!
What? Yup, your hole closed or something. Or wait, the earring is thin, then gets thicker. Yup. Let me push it in.
NO!
What la. It's only gonna hurt for a bit.
Hahaha!
Or get him to do it for you.
Guy from store: let me see.
Here.
Okay... *pushes in earring hard*
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
What?! It's not that bad! Hasn't it ever happened to you?
I've never been in that type of pain. Because i've only got two piercings :D
Not helping -_- My God, just shove it in!
Here, let me help.
NO no no... I can do it myself.

And so she did.

Since i managed to get my photos :D I also found a couple from a night out at Pizza Uno (at Centrepoint) with Muffin Man.

He was being an ass and didn't wanna take a picture.

Food!

Anyways. I HAVE FINALLY SOLVED MY DS PROBLEM! Thank God. Remember the whole "save data cannot be accessed" problem? It really has to do with whether your firmware is upgraded or not. Since i was using a F-card (DS Firelink) and the latest firmware hadn't come out for that (if it's even coming out at ALL), i still couldn't load some new games. However, MM passed me his R4 from his old DS which he doesn't use anymore, and i uploaded the new R4 firmware and ta dah! I can play everything i couldn't before :)

So. Bottom line is: buy and R4. Nothing else. Anywho, going to watch a movie now. Ta!

First.

2009-01-02T04:14:00.000+08:00

So. It's the first post on my new blog. Or more like new url, since i moved all my posts over from my old blog as well. I'll delete it soon enough. Who knows, maybe someone else likes that name and can't use it because i'm being selfish and not deleting a blog i'm CLEARLY not using. Ahem. Anyways. Here are some visuals; some from last year (bahaha). But yes. Some were from a while ago.

From my sister's last visit.

Dad's failed attempt at photography.
I look really weird. I wonder what i was saying.

Lol.

I present to you, Baby Kaylee. She was born on New Year's Eve! NYE baby! Eee so cute.

Wow, she's actually doing >.<
Pretty impressive at an hour's worth of life.

Awww.

New Year's Eve at Casa La Faber.

Thanks to Jambu for the pics :)
Gotta run; trying to make new blogskin. Anyone good with html, let me know!
Ta.

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T15:49:00.000+08:00

New Year's Eve. It's very difficult to choose where to go; especially this year, since so many people are back. I have roughly about four different invitations; am hoping to be able to make it to two of them. Let's see yeah?

My cousin gave birth this afternoon; around 1 PM. My Dad came in and woke me up (to actually ask me to help clean the store room; not tell me the news -_-) and told me what happened, as she was supposed to give birth sometime in January.

Hey. Hey.
Nggh. What? -_-
Biew jie (older cousin sister in Cantonese) gave birth just now, at 1 PM.
Oh. Really? *waking up a little*
Yes. Cesarean.
What?! *mistakenly thinking that was the baby's name*
She had a Cesarean.
Ohh... Right... Zzz... Wait. Why is she giving birth now? She's not due until next year.
The gynecologist apparently miscalculated.
What? So stupid... Zzz...
Wake up and help me clean the store room.
Zzz...

I seriously thought they called the baby Cesarean. I mean, maybe she was struck by some weird thing that told her to name the baby something special and unique. Cesarean -_- But yay! It's a girl (as expected; we already knew the sex). I'm pretty sure her name is Kayli, because that's the name my cousin thought was nicest. And my auntie and uncle could pronounce it. Lol. So my cousin niece is a New Year's Eve baby. Not a cow as her parents expected. And i mean cow in the Chinese Zodiac.

Anyways, i'm still really groggy from the sleeping pills i took last night. I think i miscalculated when i thought one wasn't strong enough and had another after 45 minutes. So i kept sleeping until just now, and am still a little groggy now. My mom's voice is very loud on the phone from outside and through my doors. From this, i can deduce that my cousin niece is 3 KG. Which is roughly about 8 pounds. Like me. I was 8 pounds when i was born :D

Hunger calls. Ta. And Happy New Year everyone!

Phew

2008-12-31T00:53:00.000+08:00

Just got back from a dinner with family friends. Felt the need to blog about how dangerous it is here in Malaysia, and how to not take your safety for granted. We were at Damansara Perdana, outside the Nyonya restaurant Mum's Place. Really good food by the way. Try the cencaru fish, it's AWESOME. But seriously spicy. Worth it though. Anyways. So we were leaving the restaurant; two other families had left already, and i was with my two childhood friends (brother and sister), their parents and my parents. It wasn't really dark or anything; about two or three streetlamps lighting up the area. It was dark where the restaurant was; they just closed up. Around 11 PM.

So we were standing around chit-chatting (parents -_-) and there were some Malay girls on the other side of the road, sitting down, chilling, probably just got off work. The group of us were talking amongst ourselves, when we heard two motorbikes approaching. They were coming from the opposite direction, and the street was quite deserted so the sound of their engines were quite loud. They were Malay or Indonesian, i couldn't tell. Two were on one bike and the other was by himself. They slowed down near where the Malay girls were, then revved up and made a beeline to us. We all instinctively bunched closer together. My aunt, mom and i clutched our bags closer to our bodies as the two bikes neared us and the single rider stopped a few feet away, while the other two circled around us, looking. My aunt was saying "Be careful, they want to rob us." They circled us again, then all sped off, going back across the road and toward the Malay girls, who all hurriedly picked up their belongings and got off the side of the road where they were sitting.

Thank God nothing happened, because i'm pretty sure my aunt was right: they wanted to rob us. All four of us women were carrying bags; mine the biggest. But i think they were discouraged because we were alert immediately and aware of what they were trying to do. Also the fact that my uncle, dad and friend was there. Three guys, four women. They were very outnumbered. So. Heads up people. Don't dilly dally around at night.

YSL

2008-12-29T15:19:00.000+08:00

I was helping my Dad spring clean. He was cleaning out his closet while i was cleaning his room light, when i spotted a belt on the bed.

Hey Dad, can i have this? *tries it on* Oh cool it fits. Are you still using it?
Yes, sometimes. Are you sure it fits you?
Yes it fits. If you're still using it then i won't take it. But if you have like other belts you don't want, let me see them first before you throw them away.
Okay. *takes out a bunch of belts* Here.
Oh my God.
What?
Why don't you wear this?!
Oh, my friend gave that to me.
What nice friends you have T_T
It's real you know.
Why don't you wear it?
It's hard to match. You can have it though.
YAY!

Vintage red leather YSL. With gold plated buckle.
I wonder how much it's worth on e-Bay?
I can't believe my Dad had this and i didn't know T_T

Public Service Announcement

2008-12-28T01:05:00.000+08:00

PSA.

I just want to say one thing before i start. THANK GOD FOR SAVED CONVERSATIONS SO I CAN BLOG ABOUT ASSHOLES LIKE THIS. Well. Weirdos. Whatever. Anyways.

A couple of weeks ago, i got a random message from someone on MSN whom i didn't have on my list. And yes, i do allow random people to contact me, because there was a situation once where a friend added me and i didn't have her email and she couldn't talk to me to tell me it was her. But we resolved that over the phone so no sweat. Anyways.

	(6:11 AM) Stripper Roy:	Hello

	peachy is saxion:	no.

I kid you not, that is his nickname. So after my pretty firm 'no', i closed the convo. But this guy was persistent. It was freaking 6 in the morning; i was awake and grumpy because i was trying to fix my biological clock and playing WoW on my laggy net and chatting to Caryn at the same time (she was in NZ; that's why she was awake). I told her what had happened, and the mentioned how i should accept the damn webcam and post his nudity all over the internet. But i was lazy and he had gone, but she was keen on the idea so i suggested she add him. But he didn't add her back so too bad. So when he talked to me again, i decided to just play along for a while.

Oh, by the way, i didn't see anything because he pointed the webcam to the floor. At least he's not that stupid.

(8:49 AM) Stripper Roy:	Hi!

A Little More Personal

2008-12-27T16:58:00.000+08:00

Pictures from the night of the screening i stole from Caryn.

For some reason, i feel we look very Japanese/Korean O_O And i'm feeling very self-conscious about the scar. I mean when i'm out and everything, i feel normal now, but whenever i see pictures i get a bit =/ Seems to be very noticeable and it's starting to annoy me. Which reminds me, i have an appointment in January with the doctor -_-

I was reading some blogs earlier, when i saw a personal post by the author. I was thinking to myself, "God, it must suck to be her boyfriend right now." I always feel slightly bad whenever i read personal posts about people by bloggers who are quite well known because it must feel like the whole world's watching or something. But whatever.

I'm thinking of moving my blog, so heads up people. But don't worry, i'll let you know.

I feel like leaving my hair long and dying it blue.

Christmas

2008-12-26T16:07:00.000+08:00

How was Christmas people?

Mine started around 7 PM, when MM picked me up to go to his house. Gave him his present, which i wrapped myself. Well, i made the box more like. He dropped me off and went to his Grandma's. I was left playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero with the guys. God, playing the drummer on Guitar Hero is difficult. Also i have to whack like really hard. Saw lots of people! And played cho dai dee. Got bitten alive by mosquitoes. Damn things.

This was around 9/10 already, when all his mom's friends had left.

Emil stole my hat; guys playing Winning Eleven.

Paderi! With Swedish's Wayfarers.

Jambu.

I think i have like 7 mosquito bites because i spent a lot of time playing 5, 10 with Bing and Ben. Who were playing some hardcore version which involved both losers drinking. Unfair. And that pomegranate vodka concoction was yuck.

Wern!

Swedish, MM. Swedish had like 6 beers by 8 PM.

Bing having an epiphany.

Arran deejaying.

So there was no puking (thank God). Lots of red bull/vodka though. More pictures on Facebook. Which reminds me: Ellie, upload the photos! I know you're in Aussie :) Ta people.

Oooer

2008-12-24T20:52:00.000+08:00

Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve is not that bad. I mean One Utama wasn't really that packed. MM and i found a car park after 5 minutes. Then i forced him to go away so i could FINALLY buy presents. It was such a relief when i saw my cheque had come through. Praise ~~Jeebus~~ Jesus. It IS his day after all. Today was a pain. Seemed like everything was out of stock, no size, sold out etc. I must have walked out of Pull and Bear 5 times today. I also just finished wrapping MM's present, and he bought me some pants just now. They're a little tight. Must lose butt. It has no purpose except for being a natural cushion.

I went to MPH to buy a book too, but it was SOLD OUT. My God. How can you be sold out?! There were only two copies yesterday. Don't you have a stock room? This is why Borders > MPH. I love Borders. In fact, i think the first time i went to Borders was in Singapore, during Christmas. My parents took me down. It was around 1999 or 2000. I think that was my first time in Singapore too. Remember, i only moved to Malaysia in 1998. So we had just settled down. Anyways. So my parents took me for a walk down Orchard, and then i saw it.

A giant, glass cone. Bright lights from within. People milling all around. I remember i loved reading even then. I'd be the kid who had a book all the time. Even now, it's pretty hard to find me without a book. My parents would have to tell me to stop reading at the dinner table. So back to the dome. I pointed and asked my Dad what it was. Then he said: "That's the biggest bookstore in the world."

Okay, i'm not sure if that is actually true. Back then it was still probably the biggest bookstore in Asia. But whatever. Back to the story.

"Wow!" I said (wtf this is like a story now). "I want to go in!"

So in we went. I remember being so dazzled by all the books, the smell and the lights. And it was also the place where i bought my first Harry Potter. Well, technically, my Dad bought the Harry Potters, and we bought the first 3. Because my cousin Aaron in London had sent back the Goblet of Fire for me via my aunt. And i read it, not knowing it was the 4th book. About 3 times. Before reading the others. So that is how Harry came into my life. Anyways. Back to Borders. It was awesome. The best bookstore ever. And you can be sure, that everytime i went to Singapore from then on, i would bug my parents non-stop to take me to Borders. Even after i discovered Kinokuniya at Takashimaya. I would always go to Borders. Like how people always go to Orchard Road.

Therefore, i spent the rest of my holiday reading about Harry every night and making my books more and more dog-eared because i was the kind of kid who bent her books at the spine (oh dear God) and folded the corners of the pages (T_T). Which of course i do not do now, because it leads to books falling apart. Which annoys me. This trip was also the sad demise of my beloved toy dolphin Swimalot. I say demise, because his fur was NEVER THE SAME AGAIN. Traders Hotel should pay. It was nearly 10 years ago now, but Swimalot has never been avenged.

Okay, this is Swimalot.

And this is Boo (TOTALLY unrelated to the story, but he's cute so whatever and he's sort of my replacement for Swimalot).

Okay. Anyways. I'm actually not quite sure exactly where Swimalot's from. I don't remember if he was given or my parents bought him for me. I do remember he was from Hong Kong. Yes i am aware that it is a soft toy but whatever. He was so smooth (back then) and fun to hug. And he smelt nice. Yes he's a guy. Whatever. I took him everywhere and always slept with him. Same way i always sleep with my pink pillow which i stole from Cathay Pacific (okay not stole per se; but more on that later). So anyways, as usual, i brought Swimalot (yes i know lame name but i was 7) with me to Singapore, and slept with him on my sofa bed in the hotel. So in the morning, i would leave him somewhere and go out with my parents. On one particular afternoon, after coming back from walking around, i looked around for Swimalot, and he was not to be found. He was GONE. MIA. AWOL.

I'm pretty sure i started screaming around later, after i searched everywhere, insistent that i had left him on the bed. The housekeeping person usually left him on my bed after she was done, but he wasn't there. After lots of phone calls, it turned out that the person who cleaned out room took the bedsheets for washing. AND SWIMALOT. She took him too! By accident of course. But still.

I spent the rest of the day in zombie mode, worrying that Swimalot was being whooshed around in a soapy metal dungeon, his eyes falling off and him cursing me. The next day when we got back from lunch, Swimalot was sitting on the desk. I picked him up, but he wasn't the same again. His fur had gone all weird and his stuffing was lumpy. Needless to say, i was very sad. And made sure to never again leave things on hotel beds.

Anyways. I met up with Zoe yesterday too, and we talked and shopped and had sushi. So nice seeing her again, but we didn't get to take pictures. Talked about loads of stuff, then went for the Spirit movie preview at Sunway Pyramid, courtesy of Advertlets. Got extra tickets, so MM invited 5 of his friends, and i invited Caryn. I found the movie very weird. Not bad, just odd. Interesting take on the 1950's comic. They cut out lots of little bits which was slightly annoying, but not as bad as Twilight. It was funny at parts too, and Samuel L. Jackson was cool. Near the ending of the movie, the screen went all funny.

See that black part where her dress ends? The thing below is actually the top of the screen. And no one fixed the projector. But it was only for the last 5 minutes. I can't wait! Angie's coming back the day after tomorrow. So cool that we're gonna be roomies next year :) Or more like housies. As the New Year inches closer and closer, it becomes so much clearer that i'm leaving sooner and sooner =/ Ta.

Ballet Shoes.

2008-12-21T17:35:00.000+08:00

Ballet Shoes trailer. Starring Emma Watson. I actually really like this film, except it's not widely known. So decided to put it up here. Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon from Harry Potter) is in it too. I found it really cute.

Bleep.

2008-12-21T01:08:00.000+08:00

Last night's session at Wabi caused me to conk out around 2 AM, then wake up later at 5. I swear, my biological clock is so messed up, it's not funny. Also, i discovered bruises on my right arm in addition to the skinned knee -_- I am a hazard to myself.

So after talking to MM, i fell asleep again and woke up at 8 AM, slept and woke up at 10 AM; got sick of sleeping and decided to get the hell up. I drank loads of cold water; alcohol always does that to me. Icy cold :) Also got extremely hungry, but of course there was no food in the house because my parents are responsible like that and shop or groceries weekly. Not. So around 12 PM, i finally called MM to wake him up because i was hungering for sushi. Like you do. And of course we went to Sushi Zanmai. I picked him up (what a nice change) and after our sushi session (haha) we strolled around window shopping. It's time for the annual Christmas sales now! But sadly for me, my check will probably not have been processed yet so i have to wait till Monday. And i need new jeans. Badly. The ones i currently live in are very annoying; i have to wear a belt or else pull them up constantly. I have no idea why. They're skinny, and it's not like i've gained/lost weight. Actually i lied. I weighed myself on MM's new scale at his house and it says 50 KG. What is up with that? I was 53 KG for my medical examination O_O Hmmm. And that was only like what, last week? Freaky shit. Must be the lack of food -_- That saves me a trip to the gym.

Where was i? I keep getting sidetracked, sort of annoying. Speaking of which, load this video while you're reading. Very nice and dancey. Exactly why i should be heading to MOS next week. Dance dance dance :) MM got me on this. When you're done with that, listen to Hurricane Jane.

Good right? ANYWAYS. After lunch was MPH of course. I debated about whether i should buy a book on my limited resources, and decided not. Next week. Patience. I'm looking at the Time Traveller's Wife, which i've heard was good. But i'm very finicky about books; i generally hate buying what i don't know to expect. That's why i stick to a few authors. It takes a lot to make me take a risk on a book. Because my bookshelf is collapsing and it really cannot afford to take anymore books.

We poked around the shopping mall, and headed down to the Mac Fair on the ground floor. My Dad's promised me an upgrade for my iPod. Right now i'm hankering for the 2nd generation of the iPod Touch, but i'm a bit irritated at the fact that you can't tap on it with your nails. Like how XiaXue talked about that in her Guide to Life video. It's kinda true -_- I hate getting my screen(s) oily and stuff. I'm very OCD about that. I lovingly clean my laptop screen often too. Same thing with glasses/sunnies. I mean, you can't see anything. There's a layer of crap on top. Ahem. Getting sidetracked again. Yes. So my Dad's replacing my slowly dying iPod Nano (2nd generation, with the aluminium casing; green). I love my iPod Nano, but the top bit's come off and stuff and it's chipped in a few places. Also, i can't watch videos on it. And i've never thought i would accumulate so many songs. I actually got my iPod Nano after my IGCSEs (a. k. a. O-Levels/SPM). It was supposed to be a motivational factor. I was supposed to score all As (HA!) and then i'd get the iPod. As a result of my frequent non-study sessions with my friends (thanks a lot guys -_-) and also a whole lot of procrastination on my part (i get distracted easily, especially by shiny things) i ended up scoring 2 As and all the rest Bs. The 3 As were for English language, Malay and Mandarin for those who are wondering. I took 9 subjects, but 2 of them were split into 2 (hence the English language and literature). Not counting P. E. of course. Which we weren't graded on unless you specialized in it.

Anywhos. I have no idea why (and don't really care hehe) but my aunt decided to give me the iPod anyways. My Dad took me to the shop, and for some reason, i chose green. I distinctly remember the conversation we had with the shopkeeper.

So, which one do you want?
I don't know... I know i want one with the colours! But the black one looks cool.
That's only available for the 8 gig ones. The colours are for 4 gig.
Do you want the black one?
Hmm... Nah. I don't have a lot of songs. (Such a lie T_T I should've gotten the 8 gig.)
Well here are the colours. *Takes 4 iPods and puts them on counter.*
The colours are so pretty... And shiny!
*Walks away while his fickle daughter is cooing over the pretty shiny iPods.*
Hmm. I dunno. What do you think?
Well, what's your favourite colour?
It's blue. But i dunno. The blue is really nice, but the pink is hot.
Have you decided yet? The blue one right?
Hmm... Actually i don't think so.
But isn't that your favourite colour?
Wow you remembered O_O It is. But hmmm... *Turns to shopkeeper* Which is the least popular colour?
Green.

Which is how i got my green iPod. And i never regretted it. My sister bought the same iPod as me, only she got blue. In Singapore that is.

Hey, your iPod's blue! I wanted that.
Actually i wanted green but i remember yours is green so i didn't want them to get mixed up.
-_-

Okay. Back to where i was. So we were walking around the Mac Fair testing out the new Nano and iPod Touch. While walking around, we saw a big set up where they were selling general Christmas stuff and soft toys. And i saw this:

I. Want. That. Penguin. SO BAD!!! Eurgh! It was like my inner child (outer child more like) exploded. I was looking at the penguins, then i saw the BIG ONE. It's so cute! They come in three sizes. I was sooo tempted to buy the big one, except it was selling for a ridiculous price. Like RM 250? Around RM 200. But it's soo cute :( And it was the only one which looked good; the rest all had wonky eyes or looked evil. I know. I looked.

See? I even arranged them. Like a little family photo. OMG it's so cute T_T Someone please buy for me? Even the small one's like RM 40 though. And the medium sized one is RM 80. I was there debating for a while. Felt really sad when i walked off. Then off to Cold Storage to buy groceries for dinner. I always get very distracted by supermarkets like Cold Storage, where you can get lots of stuff. Today, i actually found Nerds Rope! I was so excited. The last time i ate Nerds Rope was in Brisbane 2006, when i went for Discovery Trip. Awesome. Please, readers, do not tell me you don't know what Nerds Rope is. Google it. Wait, i'll do it for you. Here. The glorious Willy Wonka creations. Nerds.

They actually used to sell Nerds here. I have no idea what happened though. I know they still do in Singapore (last time i checked) and Gobstoppers too. I'm sooo hungry for them right now. They are DELICIOUS :D Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an awesome book. I had such a sweet tooth when i was young, so it was my ultimate fantasy land. So i bought that, my yummy mashed potatoes, apple and cranberry juice, Haribo gummy bears and Mi Sedap. MM bought a jar of pesto and angel hair pasta. He made it for me too, because i fell asleep on his bed. And brought it up for me. He tried to wake me up by holding it in front of my face but i was too groggy to get up until he fed me.

So. I'm home now. And i seriously need a massage; i have so many knots in my back and shoulders. And a new manicure. Eurgh. Wow this was a long blog post. In fact, i think i shall end it

here.

Was at Wabisabi at TTDI Plaza last night. Here are some pictures.

Confused reindeer.

Guinness was apparently expensive, so no go :( I also sorta fell on steps and skinned my right knee. There was no vomit projectile so no worries. Am awake now and hungry for sushi. Will proceed to get said sushi right now. Currently have money from old job so am quite teh happy. Also, anyone interested in watching The Seven Deadly Scenes with me at KLPac? It's been a while since i saw a play. Also only running until the 28th, so HURRY and call.

Shall go off now. Need new manicure. Christmas is coming soon :)

The Spirit

2008-12-18T22:25:00.000+08:00

I'm sure many of you have seen the trailer for The Spirit. I'm pretty sure i blogged about it a while back. If you haven't seen it, here it is:

What i love about this movie is the awesome cast. Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson. Love them both, and they're both playing the baddies in the film.

Scarlett's playing Silken Floss, who's a nuclear physicist and a surgeon. Sexy and smart. Kinda depressing, but hot. I've always fantasized about being evil. It seems so much more fun.

Silken Floss is an interesting name too. Very fluffy and soft for a character who's cold, calculating and manipulative. It's a trait i actually admire in some women; drives them to do better and keep their eyes on the prize. Sort of reminds me of my mom -_- The cold and calculative part i mean. I think i'll dress up as her for Halloween actually. Not too slutty but still sexy. And smart. That's always a plus. And of course she's the only one who can control the Octopus. Another plus. Brains behind the brawn. Women who can control men like that rock. It sort of reminds me of a Sex and the City episode (Season 1, Episode 1 actually), where Carrie talks about women having sex like men. Emotionally detached and the ones in control. It's kind of hot. And gives the fairer sex power for a change. Silken Floss is an example of hot, smart, sexy women who don't have all that emotional baggage and with all the crying and being demanding and sensitivity. I should take tips or something.

Anyways, i'm really looking forward to the movie. It looks really dark and gloomy and mysterious. We need more comic book movies!

Oh noes

2008-12-18T18:04:00.000+08:00

Practically all the series i watch are on hiatus/Christmas break. I just watched the season finale of Heroes. I think it's going past it's time =/ Getting a bit too... Hmm... What's the word, save-the-worldy. But yeah, that's the point. Oh well.

I'm much more annoyed that Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives/Gossip Girl are only going to be airing in January. So right now i'm alternating between Dirty Sexy Money and Sex and the City Season 3. Dirty Sexy Money is quite nice. Anyways.

I'm going to pick up my last pay cheque tomorrow. Turns out they didn't bank it in, i have to collect it -_- So i'm semi-saved. Depending on how much they're paying me haha.

Well anyways, i was wondering where they get child actors to do television shows like that. Like, are the parents okay with that? Like what about on Weeds, where the kids say 'motherfucker'? Like seriously. And all the sexual innuendos? Wonder if the kids know what they're saying sometimes. Oh well.

False alarm.

2008-12-16T17:02:00.000+08:00

False alarm, false alarm. My DS isn't being good. It never was. Oh lies, ALL LIES!

Oh, i definitely can play two games that i've never been able to play before. But the same old, same old error message came up when i tried to load the vast other games that i downloaded. Life is so cruel. But however, i am trying this method instead. I'll let you know how it goes.

Nope. Whether you use the new version, or the old version, it stiill fucks up. Royally. So there's no use except to use that arm7.bin patch now :( Which i can't find. Oops, no, it's here. I just Googled for F-Card firmware updates, and my blog popped up as one of the links. Lol. So anyways, just follow instructions as usual. Let's see if it works...

Okay it's patching... Or whatever term you use...

Got the file. Transferring to F-Card...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. USELESS!!!

I'm trying again. It didn't work with Ninjatown, but i am now trying with Syberia, and it's taking a lot longer, so maybe, just maybe.

Nope. USELESS.

Buy a new card people. If you have an F-Card that is.

Success!

2008-12-15T21:30:00.000+08:00

Success! The reformatting worked! My DS lives! I can finally play Final Fantasy! I shall now give you this. This video is super cute. It Had To Be You - Motion City Soundtrack.
